Birthday Cake Ideas Close to South Eastern Melbourne

Hi everyone,
Son is turning one and need a special and delicious birthday cake to serve around 40-50 people.
I live in south Easter Melbourne but open to a bit of traveling as well.
Appreciate your suggestions

  • Is the party for the 1 year old or the adults?

    A bit of travel but worth it…..

        After dinner reading for my kids dozens of times a year as they weighed up the options and choices.
        The carousel was always a threat, as it is a multi-media architectural nightmare, requiring integrating wood accessorise with a multi layer cake. Not saying I'm that guy, but somebody always urged the little kid to pick it.
        We've made probably 40 of the cakes, and repeated a couple of classics.
        I'm not much of a baker, but have done a few of them as solo projects.

  • Depends what you wish to spend and what sort of cake you're after, but If you want a custom one then my friend owns a cake business, and his are cheaper than all the places i've seen in the same sort of quality category (High quality -custom- cakes, not pre-made cheesecake shop style ones). Can always ask for a quote anyway. He is based in Clayton. Keep in mind he is fully booked until after the Christmas period.

    Coles/woolies sell items you can mix together and put in that hot square thing found in the kitchen…..

  • I eat cake like people drink water.
    My 2 favs for birthdays, celebrations, breakfast, lunch, dinner are:

    Luxbite Lollybag Cake in South Yarra
    http://www.luxbite.com.au/creations/?cat=9#catname-9

    Imagine grabbing 7 bags of your favourite candy and then making a layered cake out of it. Amazingly you can taste each of the 7 layers individually and its awesome! 7 layers cake starts with banana lolly Joconde, freckles crunch, mandarin jaffa ganache, musk mallow, more banana lolly Joconde, spearmint leaf buttercream and topped with a Redskins glaze…

    Adrian Zumbos V8 Vanilla cake in Prahran

    "Eight layers and textures of heavenly vanilla. Vanilla almond dacquoise, vanilla crunch, toasted vanilla brulee, vanilla chiffon, vanilla ganache, vanilla macaron, vanilla gel, vanilla chantilly, finished with a vanilla glaze and white chocolate plaques."
    http://zumbo.com.au/product/v8-vanilla-lge/
    The V8 cake is great in that it's not super-sickly sweet.

    What I love about these cakes is that you get real wow-flavours that aren't just a sugar overload. A small piece actually goes a long way unlike Fergusson Plaire/Cheesecake shop where you are eating it more on quantity than quality.

    South Easter(n) Melbourne is a bloody big place. It stretches from Sth Yarra out to Cranbourne. Be a little more specific.

    • Nice to see good ol' Cranny making an appearance in the comments. Good stuff!

      • Well it is the ass end of Melbourne.

        • Haha, true. I mean it could be considered regional (back in 2008, when I was in Year 12, I certainly thought that Cranny was a "large paddock with cows, goats and sheep"), but now I live in central Cranbourne and it's growing at an insane place.
          I've got awesome takeaway on my street and on the main street (a 2 minute drive from me) and most of these places even take AmEx (which gets me tingling like a kid in a candy store).
          So there you have it, the butt end of Melbourne can actually have some flair :)

          @MathNerd: The only flair that exists in Cranbourne are the flairs the hoodlums set off. It’s called crimebourne for a reason.

        • @Burnertoasty: It certainly has a reputation, but I guess I haven't seen/experienced any of those "symptoms". Every suburb can have its good and bad.

        • @MathNerd: Nope, every suburb doesn't.

        • @Burnertoasty: Where are you located?

        • @MathNerd: A long way from Cranbourne, thank God.

        • My sources say he lives in Tottenham.

        • @TightBottom: That’s in London. Not that far.

      • Cranbourne - represent!

        If you are closer to the Hampton Park part of the great southeast, you might find Lucy's Divine Cakes to be what you are looking for.

        It seems like the bad reviews on this website out number the good ones, but from my own personal experience they have done a great job, including my own wedding cake (not an elaborate multi structure but a great tasting and great looking cake anyway), and also one I had especially made for my parents' 70th birthdays, which included my own design which they executed perfectly.
